Here is the overview for this our final term in Primary 7.
Well done to P5 for some amazing egg decorating.
Here are some of the eggs brought in.
Well done P5.
This week in Primary 2 we have been continuing our topic on living things. We conducted some of our own research on the 6 different animal classification groups and had fun exploring their different characteristics.
We have also been practicing our number doubles with help from Jack Hartman and his doubles song. Here is a picture of us in action.
Primary 2/1 are now coming to the end of their Circus topic and this week have been busy practising for their own Circus performance. We set up our ticket office in the playground and sold tickets to the P1’s who will be the audience for our Circus next week.
In Numeracy, we have been learning about money, and our knowledge of adding coins of different amounts came in useful when selling our tickets.
This week Primary 1 have been learning about seeds and how they grow. We watched a short animation called ‘Peep plants a seed’ and then went on to plant our own sunflower seeds. We took our seeds home and will have a competition to see who can grow the tallest sunflower. Watch this space!
Primary 1 have been busy writing 2 part stories. We have been focusing on increasing the detail in our drawings, adding lines and patterns. We have also been learning about finger spaces and full stops. In our writing we have been trying hard to sound out words. Well done!
Lots of great learning took place in P7 this week.
In Numeracy, we have been revising addition and subtraction of larger numbers and how to use a formal written method. We then used what we had learned and applied it to real world problems. We started with problems using one operation and quickly moved on to problems using more than one operation.
In Literacy, we continued to look at different types of procedures and our focus this week, was recipes. We wrote a plan for our own ultimate sandwich recipe. We will write and illustrate them next week. While we were talking about our ideas for favourite sandwiches we began to feel very hungry
In Science, we were making circuits with leads, batteries and lights then we had to introduce a switch.
In our IDL topic we are continuing to research Chinese celebrations and festivals as well as looking at our own Scottish ones.
All in all a very busy and enjoyable week.
Have a great weekend everyone.
